Who told you to slay demons like this?

"Your sister has just ascended the throne. Why are you going to the border with me instead of helping her?"

In the large carriage, Qin Xi looked at Lu Lingxian with surprise. She really couldn't understand his current behavior.

Hearing Qin Xi's question, Lu Lingxian felt a little embarrassed, because he and Qin Xi were the only ones sitting opposite each other in the spacious carriage.

This reminded Lu Lingxian that there was no such atmosphere when he left Funing County. It was all because Brother Mo was not there.

But now that the Mo family has been rehabilitated, Brother Mo is still busy, so naturally he has no time to go to the border.

"Since Tianling Pavilion came to seek revenge, my sister was worried and asked me to take good care of you..."

"Oh."

Qin Xi was not interested and leaned on the backrest in boredom. If she was going back to the border alone, why would she need a carriage?

Just use your spiritual power and run back.

But now Lu Lingxian has followed him, and he can't just run at full speed with him in one hand.

For Qin Xi, passively choosing a horse-drawn carriage was like taking a green train instead of a plane.

Qin Xi pulled open the curtain out of boredom, looked at the scene outside the window rapidly fading away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, since Lu Lingjue ascended the throne, he had been able to enjoy a few days of comfort and leisure, but the good times did not last long.

Two more ferocious demons came to Tianling Pavilion and surrounded Zhaoyaowu tightly.

The other party did not attack Zhaoyaowu and kill innocent people, but instead demanded Qin Xi to pay for his blood debt with blood.

If Qin Xi does not show up within ten days, they will destroy Zhaoyaowu.

The two demons from Tianling Pavilion naturally frightened the demon slayers so much that they were almost dead and out of their wits.

The enemy came to his house and threatened Qin Xi with the demon slayers stationed in Zhaoyaowu, so there was no reason for him not to go.

Anyway, after thinking about it, it's nothing more than revenge for the Green Demon Girl and Qin Nan.

Qin Xi was not afraid, but these days, the wealth and splendor of the imperial city was so dazzling that he really didn't want to leave.

After all, I came here through time and space, and all I did was kill monsters, and I basically had no rest.

I have already formed a feud with Tianling Pavilion, and the feud will not end until one side dies. Now that the vacation is over, I might as well stretch my muscles.

"By the way, how is the matter with the dragon vein going?"

"The Astronomical Bureau will observe the celestial phenomena at night. If the five planets align on the 18th of next month, it is considered a great auspicious sign. Only then can we offer sacrifices to the dragon veins."

"Well, what about the eight Sizhu? Is there anything unusual?" Qin Xi suddenly remembered the Sizhu who had gone to the border.

The opponent is quite powerful. If the eight Sizhu suddenly attack, it would be difficult for Lu Lingjue to deal with them alone.

"It's alright for now. Wait until the 18th of next month. If the dragon vein approves, the eight priests will not make any moves. If not, then we will have no choice but to fight..."

After saying that, a hint of coldness flashed across Lu Lingxian's eyes, and Qin Xi naturally knew the other party's intention.

If the dragon vein is willing to acknowledge Lu Lingjue, then everyone will be happy. If it is unwilling to acknowledge him, then there is absolutely no reason for it to give up the throne it has obtained.

"It's still early. Let's go back and take a look at the dragon vein sacrifice."

The two chatted for a while, but the atmosphere was dull and awkward.

After a while, Lu Lingxian seemed to muster up his courage.

"Qin Xi, what are your plans for the future?"

"My sister appointed you as the Demon-Subduing General, but you refused. Do you want to leave Dashun?"

Qin Xi was stunned. She always liked to fight alone and was not good at leading troops in battle. This was also the reason why she rejected Lu Lingjue.

She doesn't care about power, she only cares about strength.

The strength to survive in the chaotic world of demons and monsters, the strength to survive under the hands of the True Dragon Demon Emperor.

The reason why she followed Lu Lingjue to kill the emperor and seize the throne was that the emperor was incompetent and the people were living in misery, so she should do so.

The Lu family is capable of defending the territory of Dashun and will not treat civilians harshly.

As for the next plan...

"Let's settle the grudge at Tianling Pavilion first."

"I killed the Green Ghost Demon Girl and Qin Man, and I already had a blood feud with Tianling Pavilion."

"After that, maybe I will join the Great Desolate Xuan Sect and improve my strength again?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxian lowered his dull eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Qin Xi, if you want to enter the Qianyuan realm, maybe you can go to the aristocratic families of other dynasties such as Daliang to have a look.”

"Daliang, Dazhou, and Chen have never been involved in war, their national strength is strong, and the martial arts atmosphere is strong. Almost all of them practice martial arts."

"Many martial arts families have studied hard for several years and have developed many Qianyuan Realm techniques."

“Although it is not as orthodox as the Great Desolate Xuan Sect, it is still good.”

"If I enter the Great Desolate Xuan Sect, I will no longer be myself..."

Qin Xi frowned, feeling that Lu Lingxian's words had a hidden meaning. From beginning to end, the Great Wilderness Xuan Sect exuded a weird and strange feeling.

"You, do you know something?"

Lu Lingxian hesitated for a long time, moved closer to Qin Xi, and deliberately lowered his voice.

"I shouldn't be the one to say this. Please don't make it public. There seems to be something wrong with the Great Desolate Xuan Sect."

"There are many children from the great families in Dashun, and many of them have joined the Great Desolate Xuan Sect. But once they join the sect, they seem to become different people."

"It's like, after losing my past memories, I've become a completely different person..."

"Not only that, I have discovered that many disciples who joined the Great Desolate Xuan Sect disappeared after three to five years and evaporated from the face of the earth."

"Many, even those who have guarded the Meritorious Service Pavilion for twenty years, have already been completely wiped out."

Qin Xi frowned as he listened. When he mentioned the Great Wilderness Xuan Sect before, Lu Lingjue's reaction was also strange.

She did not doubt that Lu Lingjue and Lu Lingxian would deceive her.

Compared to the weird Dahuang Xuanzong, perhaps it would be a good choice to go to other dynasties for a look.

Time passed quietly, and the carriage soon arrived at Zhaoyaowu.

Qin Xi had just gotten off the car when he smelled a burnt smell in the air, like the smell of the earth being burned.

The climate is hot and dry. If I were not a warrior but an ordinary person, I would probably get heatstroke before long.

"This is the border of Dashun, Zhaoyaowu, only a hundred miles away from the Blood Demon Pond ahead."

"The climate in the Blood Demon Pool is hot and dry, so it will be difficult to endure here."

Qin Xi listened to Lu Lingxian's explanation and nodded. Those were the memories of the demon kings from the Blood Demon Pool.

The environment of the Blood Demon Pool is harsh and the climate is hot. Zhaoyaowu is much better than the Blood Demon Pool, but it is still equally difficult to endure.

It is already autumn, and it is already a bit chilly in the Imperial City.

But here in Zhaoyaowu, it is even hotter than in summer.

"General Xiao Lu, Captain Qin."

When the demon slayers stationed in Zhaoyaowu saw the two men, they immediately saluted respectfully, as if Zhaoyaowu was still unaware of the changes in the Imperial City.

"Where are the monsters in Tianling Pavilion?" Qin Xi went straight to the point, not forgetting the real purpose of this trip.

"The two demons from Tianling Pavilion have been waiting outside the city gate for several days. We dare not conflict with them. Fortunately, they only waited outside the city gate and did not make any other moves."

Qin Xi nodded, "I'll go meet them."
